What about projectionists that refuse to play police in a movie theater? I would certainly not engage in such a surveillance action (nor would my employer ask me to, but that's sheer luck).
Dear MPAA, if you want security, pay for it. Send over a security guy that watches the cinemas your reels are visiting. I for certain won't do your lousy denunciatory job.
This is called a LPHI event

Low Probability, High Impact. I once attended a presentation by Stefan Rahmstorf, a well known professor of physics of the oceans, in which he talked about these events.
On his website, you'll find a simulation of the worst case szenario. There is also an animation!
oh, and I forgot to mention that all it took me to get it installed was a pentium120 Mhz with nothing but a floppy drive and two network interfaces. Should be in everyones financial reach:)
In order to secure a SOHO, it rarely takes more than IPCop has to offer. This is probably the best solution, having a restrictive firewall with an properly configured snort IDS behind...all accessible via a simple webbrowser. DMZs, Graphical Logs, included proxy, dial on demand...hell, even patching works via browser!
I'm satisfied. Application Level Firewalls are useful when there's enough differentiated/sophisticated traffic to justify the ressources spent - and enough money to pay for them. For SOHOs it's just overkill.
you bother to actually read the things/. links to? That already makes you a minority here. I find it really amusing that most people do not even bother to get the facts straight - they read FSF or GPL somewhere in the title of a story, and BAMM, they immediately start insulting RMS on what an egomanical asshole he supposedly is, no matter what's the subject.
The news here is that even the submitter doesn't understand what he's pouring out. Sic transit gloria slashdot.
and, for sure, that's an old concept: "nihil esse sine ratione" (Leibniz), nothing exists without a cause/reason behind it. If a trojan opens your box to the general public, and you do not have the ressources to locate that problem, then it's NOT your fault. Others did bad things with your property. It's like strangers having a orgy in your house while you're not there...of course, remembering to lock the door on your house is probably easier than to knowing how to secure your PC.
I don't see why IBM is seen as the saviour by so many people here. They're actually suing SCO on patent infringement claims...you know SOFTWARE PATENTS, yes, the nasty ones.
While SCOs claims, being unspecified and bloated in nature, are plain smelly FUD, the action IBM is taking is much more dangerous. Everybody rejoices seeing SCO wasted by "the big guns" from IBM, but beware the awakening when the patent infringement guns point in the face of FS.
Well, basically the "humaness" of entities is plain irrelevant to the really interesting question of how you make up for a "moral agent". As a moral agent, you have rights, you are a "person", not to be objectified in any circumstances. It has nothing to do with being human, it has something to do with your abilities. If we have robots that feel pain, that have a self with consciousness, we might have to admit that they, indeed, are not pure objects anymore. That they ought to have the same rights we currently only ascribe to the complex machine we call homo sapiens sapiens.
c'mon, read between the lines. Mr. Green did not mindlessly bash windows users, he used these words in a funny reference as to why he's running his website (read his comments). The selfrighteous fury that some (if not most) of the K5 users show up with just does not compute. After all, he's going for spammers, not for them.
Well, has anyone actually read the comments on K5? I admit it left my eyes open in a bewildered gaze to see that nearly all of them were actually bashing Mr. Green for what he has done. Are K5 users even more nuts that your average/. Troll? Can't they stand a statement like "windows losers" anymore?
has anyone ever tried peekabooty, esp. under wine? The reflections on open source development the developer(s) feature on their website sound kinda depressed..but then again, the honesty factor speaks for them. Are there any deep flaws in the idea? I personally like the simplicity of their design, but since I'm not a design guru, I may be utterly wrong.
In my first year at the university, I had a long talk with a philosophy professor that somehow cared for me (gave me a small copyjob). He wanted to propose me for a special program ("Deutsche Studienstiftung") where you get money for books in exchange for seminars taken with other selected few students. The main purpose of this program is simple: create a place for the eleet to meet. I refused to participate, for more than one reason (I was in my second semester, I was frightened and lazy), but the main one was that I did not want to become one of the students participating in such a program.
He could not understand it, well, many of you will probably not. Why not go for a ride when you have the opportunity?
I refused because I did not want to loose touch with the less protected students. Because I knew that once you're in such a elitist framework, you loose contact with others.
My prof said that "in order to protect or help the less fortunate, you've got to be one of the strong", but I doubt that. If you're striving for the top, the only thing you get is less insight in the real world problems of the bottom. I think this is also true in the economic realm.
Just to let you know: there was a lengthy (but very interesting) presentation by Rüdiger Berlich from the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe about GNU/Linux' role in the GRID computing area.
His speech was very informative for me since I did not know there are that many scientific interests connected with GRIDs...also he gave some nice insights on the why of GRID computing - ever tried to cope with an annual dataflow of one petabyte?:)
The paper from his speech was on the Linuxtag DVD, I think it's ok if I let you have it.
I actually enjoy installing and maintaining gnu/linux on my (kinda old but loved) laptop. I NEVER EVER leave a preshipped system on devices I buy. It simply does not feel right, like you buy a TV and only watch the first programmed station. Nothing against having a (small) partition with WinXP on your hd, but reinstall it, freshly, not with the "restore CD" crap some vendors are shipping. There's another point: how do you learn to speak DOS, Windows, MacOS, (uni|linu)x? By using it, yes, but to know more, one should play deeper. A marvellous device like a laptop deserves that one pays some time and effort in it. I always weep when I see latest thinkpads that still run the same system they were shipped with after months.
I agree. I think.eu could also be a political thing...be part of a greater nation(-like) thing and not struggle in fights against others... as europe always did.

correction: it also got a 1,1GB hd. but thats about it.

Lets see who's laughing in 6 months.
...are wonderful things. Too bad that the mentioned holographic keypads are nothing more than patented science fiction.
If I had money, baby, I'd create a star just for you
